JELD-WEN to buy Mattiovi Oy from Taaleri

JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (NYSE: JELD) and Taaleri (HEL: TAALA) have concluded an agreement on an ownership arrangement, wherein the whole share capital of Mattiovi Oy was transferred to JELD-WEN Suomi Oy. Mattiovi Oy was Taaleri’s co-investment case and it was owned by Taaleri’s customers via Taaleri Door Fund (60%), Taaleri Investments (20%) and the management of Mattiovi Oy (20%).

As a result of the deal, Taaleri Plc will record a profit of approximately three million euros in June, which is composed of the performance fee of Taaleri Private Equity Funds Ltd, the capital gain from Taaleri Investments Ltd’s ownership and the transaction fee of Taaleri Capital Ltd. The profit generated by the deal strengthens Taaleri Plc’s updated earnings guidance regarding the result of the first half-year period published on 20 June 2017.

Taaleri purchased Mattiovi Oy from Panostaja in October 2013 and acquired the interior door business of Fenestra in an asset deal in December 2013. This combination formed the leading interior door company in Finland with factories in Alavus, Laitila and Posio.

“Under the management of Managing Director Tapani Harjunen, Mattiovi Oy has become the most profitable company in its industry during our ownership period of 3.5 years. I wish to thank Tapani and the personnel of the company for all their hard work. Mattiovi Oy was a successful investment for us. We will reach the return target of our customers and the example shows the strength of our co-investment concept,” says Tero Luoma, who is the Chairman of the Board of Mattiovi Oy and Taaleri Private Equity Funds Ltd’s Investment Director.
